Of course, she says no. There's a lot more to this interview, but you have to read between the lines, because Martin speaks in that diplomatic, bureaucratic way. But she sure did love the students. She's going to miss them and all the fun she had with them. And those protests at the Capitol? Not an obstacle. Of course not.

In fact, if you're looking to advance your career, it's probably better to be in favor of the quotas. Go along to get along. Pretending that the quotas don't exist is probably the best way to deal with it.

It's not called an empty next for nothing. And, if birds can do it. "Made worse" when momma bird actually pushes her baby, who has never flown before,'out of the next. What you'd notice is that this act is done with no consideration of high up that nest is in the tree.

The worst thing any mom can do is think she carries the umbilical cord around, uncut. When to thrive, cutting is essential.

The best moms (and the worst), "pass the baton."

If Biddy did a good job, she may never even see credit? As the new person coming in takes over ...

Like an actor who goes on stage to perform Shakespeare.

Why would there be an advantage to say "Well, I saw Lawrence Olivier," hence I saw it all?

Or I heard Pavarotti.

talent is probably distributed better, around than we think.

Or as my mom would say, the most beautiful rose on the bush could have grown facing the wall.

Perhaps, it's good to know the school didn't fall to the ground?

Brick by brick, it stays composed. The humans in it come and go.

Meanwhile, if the higher education bubble explodes, isn't this a good time to get out?

"Diplomatically speaking," has always been a dance. But I never saw Fred Astaire, or Arthur Murray ... wiggle his ass in such a way ... that it looked like Obama giving Hillary a "middle finger salute" ... just by scratching his face.

There is no such thing that everything stays hidden, except the words that are supposed to fall like band-aids. Or compliments from a Frenchman as he plies a female with champagne. But he's totally motivated on finding a place for his own sexual pleasure. That's "diplomacy" nature provides the means to accomplish. Not everybody gets the same distribution.

What did you want Bill Clinton to say, after what the CIA collected through Linda Tripp, circulated?

Do kids ever learn what their dad was thinking on the night they were conceived?

When you celebrate your birthday, weren't you already close to ten months old when you were born?

Oh, by the way. When I experienced Labor. And, it was rough. I said out loud, nobody celebrates this day with birthday cake! It didn't take six months for me to set up half a cake.

At Mossad Headquarter in Israel, they also know how to translate bullshit. To tell the difference between verbals ... on par with farts ... And, "incoming." Remember the first rule? "Heep your powder dry. And, wait till you see the white's of their eyes."

She's going to a liberal college in a deep blue state with a Democratic governor and a firmly entrenched Democratic legislature. At least she won't have to worry about being caught in a political pincer movement as long as she's viewed as one of them. She wouldn't have gotten the job if she hadn't passed the lib smell test.

the Board of Regents and the the system administrators who occupy the upper floors of Van Hise, were the obstacles, not the protests at the Capitol. Add to that those who did not like the restructuring of research funds. In some ways, I suspect, Biddy feels that Walker did not do enough to work behind the scenes for this plan, but she can not say that. That said, I would not call this interview gaming,but a fairly straight forward public face.

And speaking of the Wisconsin situation, did you see this? The DSCC actually asked the Koch brothers for a 5-figure donation! After all the harassment those men have suffered at the hands of the DSCC and all other liberals, you have to wonder what in the world Patty Murray was thinking...

You will be right down the road from Northampton which is totally fab. Can't swing a cat without hitting a lezzie in Northampton and they have a store that sells Kiehls! A town with a population of 10,000 that sells Kiels! Wow, that is incredibly impressive.
